An American
Ambassador is killed during an attack at a U.S. compound in Libya as a security
team struggles to make sense out of the chaos.
It’s nice to see so many of these true war stories coming to
the big screen. We need more people to
realize what our soldiers are doing for our country and the sacrifices they
make on a daily basis. Very impressed with
the way Michael Bay created this movie, it’s a step outside of his normal
filming process and he pulled it off in a way that appears almost as a Kathryn
Bigelow or Clint Eastwood style of film.
This is going to be a breakout movie for the cast as well. James Badge Dale and David Denman are well
known on the big screen as well as John Krasinski. In my mind this helps John’s career in a way
that moviemakers will now see him as a leading man and offer more lucrative
roles to him. If you don’t know Pablo
Schreiber, get to know him. This is a
breakout role for him and I have no doubt he will be racking up the IMDB
credits very quickly in the coming years.
This movie is all about the bond and the brotherhood that the soldiers
form with each other. These guys aren’t
war junkies; they are fighting to protect the man next to them. An American Ambassador is killed in an attack
and the closest support are these special operators who are only a mile away
from the attack but because of the bureaucratic bullshit and red tape they are
commanded to stand down until they say the hell with it and do what they are
trained to do, protect lives. There are
some kick ass action scenes and some tense moments when these operators are
being stalked by the enemy, along with walking the streets not being able to
tell the bad guys from the good guys. If
you enjoyed, American Sniper, you will enjoy this movie. I’m not putting this on American Sniper level
being it’s a completely different story but it’s a great one and one that will
make you laugh and cry watching some true American heroes.
4.5 out of 5 popcorns.
